Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X20S
The AirTAC Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X20S is a genuine HLQ slide-table cylinder, 20 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a ball-bearing guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 236 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLQ Dual-Axis Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLQ20X20S
The AirTAC HLQ20X20S is a ball-bearing slide-table cylinder that integrates an air cylinder with a linear guide so the moving table travels straight on precision ball rails. Its dual-rod design doubles thrust for a given bore, and a floating joint protects the rods from side torque. At bore 20 mm and stroke 20 mm, the HLQ ball-bearing guide is anti-rust and dust-proof, making it well suited to clean or wash-down environments.
This genuine AirTAC part carries a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing with CMSH, DMSH, or EMSH switches in the body slots. We confirm exact thrust, dimensions, allowable load, and moment from the datasheet or on-page spec table on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC HL slide-table data. Max working pressure is 0.7 MPa. The table rides on an integrated linear guide — do not apply strong impact or large moment. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and curves, and overall dimensions vary per stroke — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
A bore 20 mm slide table provides higher thrust than smaller bores in the HLQ family; choose the bore for your push-force requirement and select a stroke within the bore's published range. The HLQ ball-bearing guide suits applications needing anti-rust, dust-proof operation, while the HLS cross-roller series offers higher rigidity and lower deflection. This model uses basic bumper cushioning with no adjuster; for rubber stoppers or shock absorbers consider the A or B variants. Thread is PT; port size is 1/8 inch. We confirm allowable load, moment, and deflection from the published tables and curves to size your application.
Applications
Pick-and-place head
Ball-rail straightness positions a small-parts pick head repeatably across a 20 mm stroke.
Parts transfer gate
Dust-proof guide shuttles components between conveyor lanes in clean assembly cells.
Gripper traverse
Anti-rust ball rails move a gripper on a 20 mm stroke without lateral deflection under load.
FAQ
What does the HLQ ball-bearing guide offer versus HLS cross-roller?
HLQ uses precision ball rails that are anti-rust and dust-proof, ideal for clean or wash-down environments. HLS cross-rollers offer higher rigidity and lower deflection under moment load; choose HLQ when corrosion resistance and dust sealing matter most.
What is the maximum working pressure for HLQ20X20S?
Maximum working pressure is 0.7 MPa (100 psi), with an operating range of 0.15 to 0.7 MPa for bore 20. Meter-out speed control should keep travel between 50 and 500 mm/s.
